Krsna Consciousness is always good, especially when properly understood and applied under the direction of some mature Vaishnava, but sects can be bad. Avoiding them is important for our development.
Great article, thank you Prabhu. It was very interesting to hear Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur writing about Vaishnavas maintaining their external Muslim dress and situation. It really emphasizes the "just add Krishna" Srila Prabhupada asked of us, which naturally makes practicing Krishna Consciousness more accessible and maintainable for those of us from other cultures.
The point Prabhupada makes is that devotional service don't require previous qualification to be started, therefore the priority is to help people to start. As they progress, they may adapt their culture to what is more favorable to it.
